Equating happiness with achievements
Gives momentary joy to our temperament.
This equation acts as a temporary inspiration
Pushing us to continue the irrational motion.
Unreasonably blood pressure goes up,
Stress levels crosses all bearable limits
In the attempt to attain
The Ultimate Happiness.

Finding comfort in people’s appreciation Makes us proud and dependent. Breaking us down badly Into anxiety and depression When people resort to silence!

Assigning happiness to a goal Is acting like a fool For postponing it is useless When the urgent need of contentment Is in the present!

All I realize is that Happiness Is not a feeling but a state. Trying to maintain it Is not God’s will But only our choice.

Success is only worth celebrating If no sadness prevails. Enjoying the journey With an upward curve on our faces And Crossing the hurdles With unshakable determination Will eventually open our minds To accept the innumerable reasons That give us joy Along this jerky ride; Thereby helping us to evolveInto A blissful being!

Originally I am an imperishable soul whose identity is still a quest.I am on a journey to break all illusions and maintain a tranquil state of mind so that I can help others too along the way.I believe the only way to stay positive is by making our mind the best friend and indulging in healthy internal conversation such that negativity itself feels weak,crippled and ignored in front of our extreme goodness and purity.
Professionally I am learning business tactics so as to give my haphazard creative ideas a pleasant shape.

Thanks for the appreciation.I know it is difficult to practice and so that is why I mentioned in each paragraph the consequences of being dependent on our happiness on others or postponing it for no reason.

When I worked for that Indian couple and their father, they would mention how many things in India are directly opposite of the way we look at them in the Western world. I think this might be one. We tend to think that “we are happy because good things happen to us.” This says “good things happen to us because we are happy.”

Yeah,you are absolutely right.Sometimes we have a totally different perception.And yes, if we are not happy,we will never be grateful for anything happening to us and whether it is our way or not,it will always seem bad.

Thanks for the appreciation Mr.Sylvester.Yes you are right,happiness is a state.However by giving the remote control of our mind to other people and objects,we subject happiness to terms and conditions.And so you are absolutely right,we need to take this power back. 🙂

Being happy with ourselves and forgiveness towards ourselves is of utmost importance. We often judge ourselves too harshly and forget to be happy in process of making others feel happy. If you try to make everyone happy… you’ll succeed 50% but in process you’ll be the most unhappiest person around. So first learn to be happy from within…. rest will automatically fall in place. I practice this now…. have done the stupidity of trying to please Ppl. Now I keep myself happy….no stress no tensions. A lovely poem dear… enjoyed till the the last….
